LEAN

A Systematic Approach to identifying and

eliminating waste through:

• Continuous improvement

• Sequencing the service or product at the pull of

the customer

Originated with the Toyota Production System

(TPS) in the 1990’s

Lean focuses on speed without sacrificing

quality for the customer

1-21

Lean is a way of

working where

everyone is

maximizing

customer value

while minimizing

waste everyday

LEAN PILLARS AND PRINCIPLES

Pillars:• Pursuit of continuous improvement

• Philosophy of respect for people

Principles: 1. Define value in the eyes of the customer

2. Identify the process for a service or product

3. Create continuous flow without interruptions

4. Reduce defects in services or products

5. Let the customer pull what they want

6. Pursue perfection

7. Eliminate or reduce variation (variation is evil)

ASQ FOUNDATIONS OF LEAN

Lean shines a spotlight on the waste and seeks to

eliminate or reduce waste through:• Teamwork with employees who participate in the decisions that

impact their function

• Clean, organized, and well-marked work spaces

• Flow systems

• Pull systems

• Reduced lead times through more efficient processing, set-ups

and scheduling

P1: Why change is needed P4: Analysis C7: Improvement Metrics

Why are we working on this problem/opportunity? What is the business case? What is the pain point? What is the impact? Scope?

What is preventing achievement of the goal? What is the root cause or causes of the problem? Fishbone or 5 whys.

Collect data. Check the results of your improvement. Did you close the gap? Simpler, faster, better, less costly.

P2: Current State P5: Potential Solutions C8: Check Results

What is currently happening? Extent of the problem? Data. Statement of the problem. Graphically present a picture of the current state.

Brainstorm solutions. Analyze them. Select a solution to test.

What went well? What didn’t? If you didn’t achieve goal, then go back to test another solution. If goal is achieved, put into standard work.

P3: Future State D6: Action Plan A9: Follow-up and Monitoring

What specific outcome is required?What is the goal? What is the gap? Specific improvements in performance needed? Pictures/graphs.

Develop an action plan for running your test (or pilot) and implement it.

What is the plan for ensuring that solution benefits are maintained? How will you monitor?

Background:The Women Infants and Children (WIC) Program provides nutrition education, and benefits to eligible Ohio families. Participants shop local retailers or farmers markets for highly nutritious foods on the authorized foods list (AFL) using their prescribed WIC benefits. ODH WIC reviews brand-specific manufacturer requests for product inclusion to the AFL and determines appropriateness of each product. 24% of registered mail submission requests returned as undeliverable in 2017. 64 hours dedicated to correcting addresses and reissuing portal passwords to manufacturers in 2017. Majority of portal submissions required correction. 2 major manufacturers missed 2017 submission deadline because of mailing problems.

Goal:Simplify the process for adding products to the WIC Authorized Foods List (AFL) to reduce rework and delays, while maintaining program integrity and meeting USDA requirements so that WIC participants have increased access to nutritious foods.
